From 1987 to 2012 an important ensemble of sculptures from the 19th century was on display in the Friedrichwerdersche Kirche in Berlin, created by Karl Friedrich Schinkel. The sculptures, made by sculptors like Johann Gottfried Schadow and Christian Daniel Rauch, are currently exhibited in the Neue Nationalgalerie, after the church had to be closed due to structural damages. In the Neue Nationalgalerie designed by Mies van der Rohe the sculptures can be seen in a new light, before they will not be exhibited together for the moment.
